Blogging Through the Alphabet: Letter T Is for Trials

Welcome back to another week of Blogging Through the Alphabet. This week, we are focusing on the Letter T. I have chosen to write about Trials.

As Christians, we know that we will face Trials that will move us out of our comfort zones and help us to grow. Through these refining Trials and tests, God works in us and through us. He helps us persevere through the most difficult circumstances and His glory shines brightly.

Testing us by fiery Trials allows God to examine our hearts, minds, and souls. It also gives us a good idea of our strengths and weaknesses. We can embrace these Trials with God's grace and let His glory shine through us or we can simply be miserable.

Personally, I choose to let God's strength flow through me as I deal with chronic pain and illness, an angry and confused father who suffers from a diagnosis of Vascular Dementia, and a teenaged son with a diagnosis of Autism.

When people look at me, I don't want them to see a person bedraggled by her Trials and circumstances. Instead, I want them to see an overcomer who can persevere because God lives in her and works through her. When I am weak, He is strong. When my Trials are the most difficult, He is fighting my battles for me and offering me refuge in His loving arms.

Biography:

I am a child of God, the daughter of an amazing woman who worked as a nurse and a man who worked as a State Trooper and later as a pastor, the mother of a precious child with diagnoses of Aspergers (Autism Spectrum) and ADHD. Additionally, I'm the owner of a yappy mixed breed Chihuahua Yorkshire terrier dog named Yoda and three short hair domestic cats: two black ones named Ashley Bella and Cinder Ella and one grey and black spotted one named Tiger Lily. Persevering through life with God's grace as He sustains me with His wonderful peace and amazing love through my own diagnoses of Autoimmune Diseases, Chronic Migraines, and Immune Deficiency, has taught me many valuable life lessons. Homeschooling my son and helping him cope with the frustrations that arise from his brain functioning differently due to the Autism has also been very eye opening as has been walking alongside my parents as my father's diagnosis of Vascular dementia worsens and we lose more of the person we've known for years. I hope you find God's peace and encouragement flowing through the words I share with you. God is, certainly has been, and will continue to be the source of my strength and peace when life is at its craziest. In Him, I find rest and renewal. May you receive His blessings for your life, dear ones. All Glory, Honor, and Praise belongs to God and God alone! Thank you for stopping by and spending time with me.
